Daybetter has kindly sent us a pack of 2x 25ft WiFi enabled RGB strips, which come packed with the power supply, control box, and are backed by 3M sticky tape so you can quickly apply them to many surfaces-- let's take a quick look!

The two rolls of 25 foot strips come neatly packaged with the aforementioned power supply and control box, along with the IR remote that can be used to locally control the colors and light sequencing. The strips have exposed solder/connection points so you can cut the strips and use (not supplied) 90 degree angle connectors or other junction boxes to perfectly frame your furniture and surroundings. Despite the promo images, the LEDs are a single/shared address so you cannot create colored segments, but by using just the remote you can create a cool color-fade effect to cycle through the rainbow.

The 3M sticky backs have a hard time holding up the strip if you use long stretches of it at a time directly on painted drywall. You'll notice most of the low reviews are because the lights fall after a few hours due to their failure to adhere to the customer's wall. I cut a 3M Command Strip in half long-ways and this perfectly reinforced the strips so they stay in place and don't fall down.

The companion app (IOS and Android) allows you to sync the control box over 2.4GHz WiFi and then pair that to your Amazon Alexa or Google Home account so the lights can be controlled via voice commands. The app adds more ambient scenarios by allowing you to sync the lights to music, more precise color control, or even adjust the lighting based on the time of day or current weather-- great for NEETs who use blackout curtains and don't know what's going on outside.

I used the strips to highlight my small bottle collection and provide an ambient backlight to one of my televisions and I think they look great. I wish the cable from the control box was a bit longer so I could have more leeway before the LEDs start, but they are so inexpensive I didn't really have any qualms about physically disabling the LEDs I did not want to light up to give me the perfect framing for my furniture.

As far as single address LED strips go, 50 feet of WiFi enabled lights for about $15 USD is a no-brainer for a beginner setup or as an experimental mood lighting project that minimizes losses if you damage the strip during install or just want to toy around with different lighting setups before diving into more expensive multi-address LED systems.
